Engineer

Job Title

Engineer

Role Summary

Hands-on validation engineer responsible for DDR subsystem validation, silicon bring-up support, and debug across firmware, hardware, and system levels. The role sits on a hardware engineering team focused on memory validation and platform readiness.

Experience Level

Mid-level — 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in silicon validation, memory/DDR validation, or related embedded/VLSI roles.

Responsibilities

Execute validation plans, debug failures, and deliver test and platform readiness artifacts.

• Execute DDR validation test plans and report failures.
• Create and maintain basic to intermediate validation test cases.
• Debug functional failures using logs, register dumps, and firmware traces.
• Support silicon bring-up and memory initialization activities.
• Analyze DDR training, boot, and stress failures with senior engineers.
• Develop scripts for test automation, log parsing, and validation support.
• Produce test execution reports, debug reports with root-cause analysis, and defect reports with reproduction steps.
• Deliver firmware changes, debug patches, or test firmware enhancements as needed.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.

• Practical experience with DDR protocol and memory subsystem validation.
• Experience debugging silicon-level issues during bring-up using logs and firmware traces.
• Ability to write automation and parsing scripts (e.g., Python, shell) for test execution and log analysis.
• Experience producing clear defect reports and debug deliverables.
• Ability to work across firmware, hardware, and system-level teams to drive resolution.
• Comfort working in a structured validation environment and following test plans.
• Nice-to-have: prior firmware or embedded systems development experience, familiarity with VLSI platforms and stress testing methodologies.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, VLSI, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
